Online Teaching Standard 5

Classroom Motivation and Management Skills

Artifact(s):  DB Rules / Assignment Feedback / Student Information System 

OVERVIEW:  In one of my first few announcements or getting started emails, I share my rules for discussion board etiquette with my online students.  Additionally, students are introduced to the concept of "netiquette" in the orientation course materials provided by IDLA.  I have also discovered that I often run into the same student issues for almost every class.  Over time, I have developed my own "Default Feedback" that I use with appropriate customization. 

Student enrollment, communication logs, progress reports for all online IDLA students are kept in the virtual Student Information System.  As a IDLA teacher, we are required to update our records every 7 days at a minimum. This may include notes, emails or telephone calls made to the students, parents, and/or school-based IDLA site coordinators.

 

Performance Indicator #1: The online teacher establishes a positive and safe climate in the classroom and participates in maintaining a healthy environment in the school or program as a whole (e.g., digital etiquette, Internet safety, Acceptable Use Policy [AUP]).



Performance Indicator #2: The online teacher performs management tasks (e.g., tracks student enrollments, communication logs, attendance records, etc.).



Performance Indicator #3:  The online teacher uses effective time management strategies (e.g., timely and consistent feedback, provides course materials in a timely manner, use online tool functionality to improve instructional efficiency.).
